RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University soccer team blanked in-state rival Morehead State, 2-0, on Friday afternoon for its first win of the 2021 season.
 
The Colonels are now 4-0-1 versus the Eagles in their last five meetings.
 
Michaela Iacono put EKU (1-2-0) on top in the 37th minute with a beautiful goal. The sophomore curled a free kick into the upper left corner of the net from distance, making it 1-0. It was Iacono's first career score.
 
Senior Taran McMillan added insurance in the 76th minute. Fellow senior Claire Hicks played a ball into the box. Sophomore Audrey Anderson deflected it to McMillan, who finished it off for her first collegiate goal.
 
Iacono led the Colonels with three shots in the match, two of which were on frame.
 
Hicks and senior Katie Shaffer played all 90 minutes of the shutout on EKU's backline. Freshman defender Mackenzie Burdick only came off the field for three minutes.
 
Senior goalkeeper Sophia Braun made five saves to earn her first clean sheet as a Colonel.
 
EKU returns to action on Tuesday when the Colonels host Jacksonville State at 1 p.m.
